The Oscar® for Walter Salle's film was celebrated with huge street parties in Brazil. Fernanda Torres forms the center of this restrained, tremendously powerful film.

Rio de Janeiro, early 1970s. In the Paiva family's beach house, there is an atmosphere of love, humor and openness, which Eunice (Fernanda Torres) stubbornly defends, even when her husband is arrested by the military. With his light-flooded and calm narrative, which focuses on everyday family life and Eunice's strength, director Walter Salles succeeds in making a film that has become a great box-office success not only in Brazil.
